The economic crisis is caused by borrowing from the future, both ecologically and financially. What has been missing so far in climate debates is awareness that it's an intricate systemic problem, that has not and cannot be solved with conventional linear thinking. All climate 'solutions' so far are controls designed to limit unwanted outputs from the economic system. This creates a scarcity mentality where nations squabble over diminishing resources in a world submerging in mayhem. We need to focus on the system of economics rather than the symptom of climate. There is no need to run our economies like vehicles of destruction, driving backwards out of control. We could rather simply and quickly change gears and make economics go forwards, creating real wealth, expanding ecological productivity, taking carbon out of the air and meeting the needs of all people for the first time in history. The Chinese national plan for circular economics is key and could provide global leadership if Western blunders such as incineration can be avoided.

And as this is an intricate systematic problem, we can't calculate on specific countries to solve it. It needs us to work together.
